JAMIE MURPHY is a singer-songwriter-guitarist and a health-research writer/activist. He is the author of the acclaimed book, What Every Parent Should Know about Childhood Immunization (available on amazon.com). Jamie Murphy's CD, "Issues in D" is a fusion of jazz-rock, blues, and 60/70's folk-rock. It contains the vaccine song, "The Shot." "Talk To Me" slams the gratuitous violence that permeates US television and film; "For What I AM" is a minor blues tune that explores "being" and the courage required; "Pockets Full of Tales" is a warm love ballad. (available at www.cdbaby.com/cd/jamiemurphy, amazon.com, and I-Tunes).
